Sharp stuff you own.

I went camping last month & bought a camping knife at a local store... it was inexpensive but REALLY nicely styled. When I got home I found another online & ordered it so I could customize the one I got on holiday (in case I effed it up), but to my surprise I made it look okay! I removed the blackened area so I'd feel more comfortable using it to cut food. Throwing it into dead trees is fun, but not too useful.

I also own a Samurai sword I bought in '85 in NY & a bunch of small fun but not tactically useful throwing knives to go with my PPK airsoft gun for simple target practice.

So, what's your cutlery like?

    A fairly indiscriminate cutlery device I would think...

    I own my own brain. I also own a samurai sword, but it is not as sharp.

    Cool thread. Let's see some pics though, fellas! ;)

    I have this handy credit card knife, which I keep in my wallet among other essentials:

    My katana and wakizashi are high-carbon steel- I'm afraid these photos don't do them justice though. These are legal to import into Australia, but not the DAF/Mr Wint cork opener, as I discovered. Go figure.

    Do Bond's razors count? Only just? That's okay- I like close shaves. :D

    Back in the 80's we used to love this:

    Forgot about those. Neat collection there @ggl007. I had one on a keyring, pretty much like your gold one- but completely black, and with the holes left unpainted to reveal the gold underneath. What actually happened to Kratt? He was taken out by Mr White, I assume?

    Love the credit card knife, @QBranch.

    Here's my Samurai- I walked out of a NYC theatre after seeing Highlander, and bough for $100 (1985 dollars) at a Chinese store.

    No, no, the collection is not mine! I just have one, that is very similar to the big image.

    Does the sharp pain in my back after the last football match count as well?? :D

    Depends. Do you own it, or merely rent it?

    I suppose since you could sort of cut someone in half with it that might qualify it as "sharp" in that way...

    Amateur knife smith action #2- Well I modified my camping knife again... I turned down the gutting point (my file is great, but it took a few minutes) & made it sharp so it could puncture cans & stuff and my test was totally successful. A good camping knife made even better!

    That's a good, simple and effective one! Very clean & nice.

    Here's my newest:

    Now, it LOOKS cool, and it's 440 steel, but it's only 3mm thick. Good for cutting cheese or branches, but cutting thick wood or digging a trench? Nahh. But it was only $10.

    Awesome cutting tools there, guys! I wouldn't mind getting a proper knife of that size- I'm afraid the length of my blades go from one extreme to the other!

    Cheers, @chrisisall. At less than a dollar online, it was an absolute steel... Love your sword- you've certainly looked after it well. Sadly, my own katana didn't come with that wave on the blade, so I have a mismatched pair.

    Truthfully, I've used & abused it. But it was well made.

    Well that certainly puts my fears to rest. Thank you for being so forthcoming. One would expect deception from a true psychopath.
    You silly man.

    Do you own a knife?
